This is hard to explain...but I’ve been experiencing bad paranoid delusions involving patterns and idk how to question these thoughts and delusions..they keep getting to me, and I can’t find anyone that experiences the same thing. I have flashbacks to times that never happened but I’ll remember them, but they never actually happened..in this dimension....if I know a story about something that happened if certain events happen I think something bad that happened next is about to happen to me and I get extremely paranoid...and idk what to do about it..I can’t question it...I was convinced in my head that this Halloween I was going to die. And it didn’t happen...and even though the times things don’t happen, I always think it’s real next time...idk how to handle this stuff, it’s really messing with my daily life. Does anyone else experience this type of stuff? If so please tell me how you deal with it.

My recommendations are to not try to get rid of the delusions exactly, tho you might try cognitive therapy, but to improve the rest of your life so the delusions play a smaller part.
Wht I did was , even though I heard voices and had delusions, I kept a schedule and planned in things I enjoy. I keep busy and make appointments with friends. Blank time is when I go crazy. I also volunteer, which makes me feel good about myself.
In my case, I get delusions of grandeur/persecution when I have anxiety or feel small and need something to puff myself up. If I feel okay about myself, there’s less need for delusions.
Of course, you may be on the wrong dose of drugs. Are you in contact with your doctor? For me, it took a yr or so for the voices to go away, and now I barely have them, unless my sleep isn’t perfect.
That reminds me--perfect sleep is important--sleeping on a schedule, sleeping enough. Also, obviously, don’t drink or do drugs. It’s not fair, it is just a fact--we can’t be as free with out body clocks as the rest of the world. You look young--it must be hard to adjust to all this.
